Hey Me!
9 years ago tonight, when life seemed darkest you almost made your last decision
but now you have made uncountable decisions to turn things around and when it gets grey you know it will all be ok
You have done great things in last 9 years
I'm proud
And everyone must have been waiting for this one

Endless respect for White Sails Bakery
Who has really stepped up and shown commitment and compassion for the community they serve
Later this summer I encourage you to go out to Tantallon for a visit , their food is great
Shout to all the bars and restaurants that are just shutting it down tonight and going take out
And not going for a last hurrah tonight just because the rules don't start until tomorrow
my entire life putting others ahead of myself , over the last 10 years a lot changes
But this month I saw an opportunity, I prepared , I blew the competition away and got the job I wanted . I did it for me!
The sad part is it took me 50 years
To feel pride and achievement
7 years ago today, I look over the Atlantic ready to end it.
I didn't know for many years I was depressed
I pulled my shit together.
I got help
I made some really hard life decisions
I choose to focus on the positve
I still struggle sometimes
but I am SO HAPPY to be here!
A shout out to all those small businesses that are not waiting to be told what to do, and instead of making changes that best suit them, their future and their health
Whether closing for a few days or switching to takeout only
#respect
7 years ago this minute, I pulled the trigger and launched Halifax ReTales with a tweet.

I got a vasectomy years ago
It was a small inconvenience at most to lay on the couch and watch TV for a day with an ice pack
And it's reversible
Easy for guys to take reproductive responsibility
Today and Tomorrow are going to bring up feelings for a lot of Nova Scotians,
and I know the word STRONG has been attached but there is no weakness in embracing whatever emotions you feel. We all cope with things differently
My son was supposed to come home from ON today and had a place to isolate for 2 weeks , but with all the uncertainty we all decided it was best to stay apart this Christmas
And I know its the right choice
But man it sucks
Today we take a small step towards normal life
This is untested times no one has all the right answers and there will be hiccups , please be kind if your 1st visit back to a service or eatery isn’t how you remember it or meet your expectations
Think of the people serving you
With the legalities of the potential mall massacre all settled
I want to take a moment to thank
@HfxRegPolice
and

I am forever grateful
